What does Excel do AFTER i calculated the sheet with (f9). (calculation
is set to manual)

I have the following problem:
In cells F2-I5000 (and R2-U5000 AC2-AF5000 AO2-AR5000) are formulas
reffering to cells in A2-E5000.(and m1-q5000 x1-ab5000 aj1-an5000)
In if I clear cells A2-E5000 (and the other ranges) with a macro then
before F9 it is really fast.(1 second)
After F9 it's really slow(12 seconds)

The marco is this:

Cells(1, 1) = Now()
Range("A2:e5000").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("m1:q5000").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("x1:ab5000").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("Aj1:an5000").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("A1:a1").Select
Cells(1, 2) = Now()


So before F9 its fast and after i hit F9 its really slow.
I think -Selection.ClearContents is what is slow.



ok thanks
frank
